About the competition

This is the fourth national-level classical guitar competition by the Instituto Cervantes New Delhi and Embassy of Spain in India. Previous editions were held in 2007 in association with the Delhi School of Music and in 2009 in association with the Bangalore School of Music, with the intention of fostering an interest in Spanish music and culture in India. In 2016 the Calcutta International Classical Guitar Festival revived this competition. It is now an annual event, the only national-level classical guitar competition in the country, and takes place each December at the Calcutta School of Music.
